Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 368
Xu You slapped his head: "I thought of it, could it be Zang Ba!"

"Exactly. How did Ziyuan think of it?"

"To be honest, I just rushed back from Qingzhou, and Zang Ba has withdrawn from Mount Tai." Xu You murmured, "I said how can Zang Ba withdraw from Mount Tai, so it turned out that he was going to Beiting to be his chief protector."

"Ah, Mount Tai is gone? Who did it fall into? Could it be taken by Zhou Cang? Is Zhou Cang going to fight against the lord?" Cheng Yu asked four times.

"Mount Tai has returned to Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan took Mount Tai and returned to Qingzhou without harming one of his soldiers. I also returned without success." Xu You said.

I can't stop it anymore, everyone knows that the last memorial is just a formality, just for fame, even if the court refuses, there is nothing I can do about it.Zang Ba didn't want to stay in Taishan anymore, he had a better future, and anyone else would go there, not to mention that Zang Ba was not Cao Cao's old subordinate at all.Zang Ba served as the protector, and in name he still belonged to the imperial court instead of Zhou Cang, but everyone knew that Zang Ba had fallen to Zhou Cang, but there was no way to accuse Zang Ba of betraying Cao Cao.

Zhou Cang didn't occupy Mount Tai, he didn't do anything, and Cao Cao couldn't blame Zhou Cang, but everyone knew it was Zhou Cang's black hands.

"Send an order to Zhang Jaw to retreat," Cao Cao said.Now that Yuan Tan has returned to the army, he will not be able to raid Qingzhou, and the confrontation will inevitably be protracted. If Yuan Shao leads the troops to the south, it will be another scuffle. Now is not the time to fight. "Jin Zhangzhang is the backbone general."

Despite his futility, Cao Cao still promoted Zhang Jaw's official position.

Guo Jia let out a long sigh, "Forget about the plan of sealing Zhou Cang as Pingzhou Mu."

Everyone knew in their hearts that if they wanted to transfer Zhou Cang away at this time, Zhou Cang would really turn against Cao Cao and refuse orders, and even lead Pingzhou Mu.Zang Ba's attachment not only eliminated hidden dangers but also strengthened Zhou Cang's power. He added 2 people for no reason, so he was naturally full of confidence.And it is obvious that Zhou Cang and Yuan Tan have hooked up, and now they are using each other. If Zhou Cang is forced too tightly, they will be tied together completely.

Cao Cao laughed. "That's fine, then Zhou Cang's request was granted to set up the Duhu Mansion, with Zang Ba as the Daduhu. Zhang Jiong was named the governor of Pingzhou, Pei Yuanshao was the general of Zhenbei, and Xu Huang was the general of Zhendong."

Since you can't plot, then win over.Cao Cao thought very openly.

"Actually, this may not be a bad thing. This shows that Zhou Cang still wants to strengthen Liaodong, and has no intention of becoming an enemy of the lord." Guo Jia said, "Otherwise Zhou Cang can keep his troops in Xuzhou. And Taishan, hehe, if I expected If it’s not bad, what’s left to Yuan Tan is just an empty city.”

Xu You also smiled and said: "Even if it is an empty city, Yuan Tan is also happy. I think Yuan Shao will give him a high opinion. Man, you just wait and see Yuan Shao's good show."

Xu You has been calling Cao Cao a man without restraint, which makes everyone very disgusted.Cao Cao and him have been patient since they were young, and they asked Xu You to help pacify Hebei, so they didn't do anything to Xu You.After hearing Xu You's words, Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Zhou Weiguo has worked so hard."

Everyone has realized that Yuan Tan has made great achievements, Yuan Shang is not happy, and the fight between Yuan Shao's sons has become more intense. This is undoubtedly the greatest joy for Cao Cao.Could it be that this is really Zhou Cang's plan?Zhou Cang's mind was a little too scary that day.

While talking and laughing, the knot in my heart has been untied.Wang Bilai reported: "Zhang Quan brought it here."

Zhang Quan was already 20 years old, Zhang Xiu only let him stay in the mansion to practice martial arts, but never took him to battles, and never let him go into official positions.

"My lord called me?" Zhang Quan saluted.

"I heard that Zhou Chong once came to your house. I don't know why?"

"He was ordered by Zhou Shijun to bring a message to my father." Zhou Cang had already thought up a speech, and asked Zhou Chong to tell Zhang Quan.

"Huh?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes again.

"It's like this. When Zhou Shijun and my father escorted His Majesty back to the east, they entrusted Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Shizhong, to my father, but because Li Jue chased my father and failed to protect Cai Yan, her whereabouts have been unknown since then. Zhou Shijun went In Liaodong, it is said that they met the Huns, and they said that there was a man who was taken captive by the Huns and married Shanyu, and the description was quite similar to Cai Yan. So I told my father and asked my father to inquire about it." Zhang Quan said.

"Cai Yong's daughter?" Cao Cao's eyes widened. She was a well-known talented woman, and he had been moved by it before. "I didn't expect to be exiled to Fanbang, alas!"

"I know about this matter. Wen Ruo, Gongda, you also send people to investigate. If the Huns come to envoy, ask if there is such a thing." Cao Cao has no power to directly ask the Huns for money. "Go back and tell your father that if you find Cai Yan, I will definitely welcome her back."

This is not only a matter of Cai Yong's daughter, but also involves the face of the court.

Zhang Quan left as if he had received an amnesty, thinking to himself that he would not dare to let Zhou Chong enter the mansion again, Cao Cao was keeping an eye on him, and he had to tell his father quickly.

"Zhou Weiguo is still a sentimental kind." Cao Cao laughed. "Since you have accepted Zhou Cang's request, you might as well be more generous and designate Gan Ning as General Henghai. As for Zang Ba, everyone has his own ambition, so let him go."

While talking, Wang Bi came in and handed Cao Cao a secret letter.Cao Cao looked at it, and said softly: "Chen Yuanlong's old illness has relapsed, Zhou Cang has sent him back to Xuzhou to recuperate, and Cui Jun has been appointed as the prefect of Guangling, and Mi Fang has been appointed as the prefect of Xiapi."

This letter was sent by Chen Jiao.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, all the people present were dumbfounded. Is this a coincidence?If it weren't for a coincidence, the plans a few days ago might have leaked out.How could it leak out when there were only a few of them.

"Don't think too much about it. Chen Yuanlong was indeed ill. He was cured by the genius doctor Hua Tuo back then. He said that he would relapse after a few years. He did relapse half a year ago. Thanks to Hua Tuo's timely treatment, he saved his life. Alas, it is a pity that Chen Yuanlong's ingenuity Wushuang contracted a serious disease!"

Zang Ba not only took away 4 soldiers and horses from Mount Tai, but also collected all the young and strong men and women from Mount Tai. There were 6 people. Jiaodong.Fortunately, Chen Daozao received Zhou Cang's letter to make preparations, and he recruited ships from Liaodong. With experience in relocating immigrants, he sent people to Jinzhou in batches in a hurry.

Gan Ning found a seaport in Huludao, south of Jinzhou, and built a water village there.Wu Anguo resolutely slowed down the construction of Jinzhou City, and immediately devoted all his strength to build the city in the southwest of Huludao. This place belongs to Jinxi. Jinxi is on the Heishan Mountain and faces the sea.Gan Ning transported a large amount of stone, wood, livestock, grain and grass to Huludao by sea.

In order to complete the construction of the outer city before winter, Wu Anguo persuaded Zang Ba's subordinates to help build the city at the price of [-] war horses.There is no shortage of materials and manpower, and the construction speed of Ningyuan is very fast.

The Wuhuan people sent people to inspect, and found that besides the team building the city, there were [-] soldiers guarding the side, Huludao also had a navy stationed, and Yuan Shao had said something first, so he dared not move lightly, leaving only [-] horsemen far away. Surveillance, did not send troops to harass.
